PAB-60: fix pnpm first-run build approvals

[pablopunk]

This pull request addresses an issue where pnpm required manual build approvals for certain dependencies during the first install, causing friction in the initial setup process. By explicitly listing these dependencies in the workspace configuration files and enforcing the policy through a new check, the build step now proceeds without user interaction.

Changes

• Added pnpm-workspace.yaml files at the repository root and inside backend/. These files define the onlyBuiltDependencies lists to pre-approve builds for packages such as esbuild, sharp, @sentry/cli, and others.
• Introduced a new validation script (scripts/check-pnpm-build-policy.cjs) that:
  • Verifies the correct dependencies are listed in each workspace configuration.
  • Ensures the root package.json does not contain deprecated pnpm build settings (pnpm 10 now reads them from pnpm-workspace.yaml).
  • Fails CI if any required dependency is missing or incorrectly configured.
• Integrated the new check into the existing scripts/run-checks.cjs so it runs automatically on every build.

Purpose

This prevents pnpm from prompting for build approvals on the first run, making the developer environment setup seamless and reducing potential errors caused by missing post-install scripts. The automated check guards against future regressions.
